I know there are a lot of “help me figure out DHS” threads, so sorry for another one!
We will be at DHS on 2/13. It’s the last day for us and we have a 2 and 4 yo. Opening time just got updated to 8am, but I am expecting it will update again to 7am open. Of course, just because I think that will happen means it probably won’t.
So, my plan is that DH and I will head over just before 7 so we can try to get a BG. From what I have read, I don’t think we need to get there before 6:50, right? I don’t have a great sense for how long it takes to get IN once you arrive. I plan to head back to our condo after that to get ready for the day, kids, etc. And then come back for a late start around 9:30am. My kids definitely won’t handle such an early start.
So with this thought of coming back for a later start for the kids: I have a 9:50 FPP for Little Mermaid, and 10:45am for TSM, and a 2:45pm ST currently (still working to earlier). Right now I have the chance to move the TSM to 8:40am, but I feel like that might just be too tight for us to get back to HS with the kids, and if we hit the tail end of the time like I would expect, we might not make the Little Mermaid 10am show, right? I want them to be able to have a relaxed time, and figured they will want to spend some time exploring TSL, so thought the 10:45 might suit us better. But my TP is not loving this. Should I be grabbing that 8:40am?
And some more questions…
If there is a 7am opening, will TSL rides all still be very busy at 9:30am?
What about for an 8am opening? If it doesn’t move back to 7am, my plan to go - and then go home and come back - this gets a lot more complicated…
If DH and I are able to get a BG and it makes sense, I am also wondering if we’ll be able to walk on to anything quickly before we head home. We plan to be at the back of that pack and sitting still for the BG… would we still be able to walk on ToT or RnRC (surely not SDD or Smugglers Run, right?)? Otherwise, those rides aren’t in the plans for the day unless we get a same day FPP.
Sorry for so many questions - and thanks for any advice!
